Which Three Arsenal Picks to Choose v Wolves? Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week

The big call in this Fantasy Premier League lineup of the gameweek is to opt for zero City players - indeed, that includes Erling Haaland!

The funds is required to invest heavily on Gunners assets as they face at home one of the poorest teams in Premier League recent memory.

Yes, Manchester City smashed in five times on their last away trip, but this time they face Crystal Palace, a side with the second-strongest defensive record in the league for goals conceded and fourth-best in relation of xGC.

And the Gunners hosting Wolverhampton is the kind of match-up you need to exploit - the best side in the league against one devoid of form, technical ability and confidence.

The squad of the gameweek is picked based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were using a Free Hit.

How did The Previous Lineup Fare?

No captain return but strong scores from Fernandes (eighteen), Dias (fourteen), Foden (twelve) and Tarkowski (nine), plus a fortunate 16-point Dewsbury-Hall bench cameo produced a massive eighty-three points. Success!

Fantasy Premier League Lineup of the Week for Fixture 16

Keeper and Defence

Robin Roefs, the Black Cats, goalkeeper, £4.7m - Newcastle (h)

This long-awaited derby in the Premier League for eight years is set to be loud, passionate, combative - and it may prove to be one of those tight matches that is full of tension but minimal clear chances.

A scenario that would render the Sunderland keeper, ranked third in the FPL goalkeeper standings, a good pick.

White, Arsenal, £5.2m - Wolverhampton (home)

An Gunners defensive asset is a must this week. Wolverhampton have one goal scored away from home so far and one in their past 6 fixtures.

Ben White is a excellent attacking option when he is given his opportunity. He started the past two at right-back, had a 14-point return against Brentford and leads the charts in that period among Gunners defensive players with two key passes, 2 attempts inside the area and an expected goal involvement of 0.7.

Marc Cucurella, Chelsea, £6.2m - the Toffees (home)

The Toffees are erratic so this selection is focused more on the Blues'defensive solidity and Cucurella potential.

The London club have the fourth-best defence while Cucurella has created more opportunities (19) than any other defensive player in the division.

And he hasn't scored this season, having netted five goals last season.

Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.4m - the Cherries (h)

You shouldn't have high expectations for a Manchester United shutout - they have one this entire campaign - but the Cherries'scoring have slowed down in the last two games.

Crucially, Dalot has been occupying some incredibly attacking positions as left wing-back in the last three fixtures.

In those matches he's had four attempts, 2 clear opportunities, a goal and one assist. He also missed a great chance at Wolves on Monday night as well.

Midfield

Saka (C), the Gunners, £10.2m - Wolves (home)

This game against Wolverhampton is too good to ignore and that makes Saka, Arsenalbest attacking player a must-have.

Little statistical analysis required to support this pick. United had 27 shots at Wolverhampton on Monday, scored four and might have had double that.

Arsenal will be keen to attack.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m - Wolves (home)

Just a single point behind Bruno Fernandes in the FPL midfielder standings, Declan Rice is incredibly consistent for Arsenal.

With more license to attack this term, he's created more opportunities than any Gunners teammate (27) and has five assists to his name.

He's also the most reliable for game time as the manager could see this as a opportunity to rotate his squad.

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9m - the Cherries (home)

Fernandes might have replaced Semenyo as the must-own Fantasy Premier League midfield asset.

Fixture-proof, always a candidate for defensive bonus points and with several ways to FPL returns.

Palmer, the Blues, £10.3m - the Toffees (home)

This gameweek's punt, Cole Palmer has his first ninety minutes under his belt after a long injury and we are aware what an explosive FPL asset he can be.

You get the feeling that, as soon as he has a single strong performance, fantasy coaches will be rushing to sign him up.

He missed the Blues'Champions League defeat at the Italian side, but that was the club easing him back carefully so he ought to be well-rested for the Toffees.

Ouattara, Brentford, £6m - Leeds United (h)

Leeds United come into this match following two great home performances against the Blues and Liverpool, but away from home they have conceded three times for every one they've scored.

This is likely the winger's final fixture before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

He has been outstanding for the Bees this term, and has five goal contributions in his last 3 fixtures at home.

Forwards

Thiago, Brentford, £6.9m - Leeds United (home)

It's been a frustrating last few gameweeks for the striker owners, with just 3 points in two games.

Nevertheless, he's the second-highest goal scorer in the league and has seven strikes in seven home games. He's the top striker choice for this round and, with a kind run of games, you can set and forget up until the end of January at least.

Hugo Ekitike, the Reds, £8.4m - Brighton (home)

Surely the manager continues to start with the promising Frenchman, after his brace performance at Leeds.

He was well at the start of the campaign and you wonder what he could have achieved had Alexander Isak not been signed and challenged him for minutes at the number nine role.

Substitutes

• Martin Dubravka, Burnley, £4m - Fulham ({h|home
